  • Mediterrane Mediterranean Sage
    Asotin County Noxious Weed Control Board P.O. Box 881 Asotin, WA 99402 (509) 243-2098 Mediterranean sage Salvia aethiopis L. Description: This aromatic biennial member of the mint family can grow 2 to 3 feet in height. The first year of growth produces a distinctive, large showy rosette of grayish/bluish wooly leaves. During the second season, the plant produces multiple branches with stems ending in clusters of white flowers. The lower leaves have petioles and are coarsely toothed. Upper leaves are smaller and clasp the stem. As the plant matures, the pubescence will shed off and show the green leaf beneath. Thousands of seeds are dispersed as the dry plant breaks off from its base and tumbles with the wind. Habitat: Mediterranean sage is unpalatable to grazing animals and degrades rangeland by redu cing forb and grass production. It will invade shrub steppe rangelands as well as the adjoining understory of ponderosa pine forests. It favors disturbed sites initially, but can spread into other areas after establishment. Mediterranean sage rarely gro ws in crop lands but is generally found in pastures, roadsides, and rangelands. Mechanical: Plants cut 2-3” below the crown prevent resprouting. Mowing is effective only if repeated many times throughout the season. Biological: Phrydiuchus tau , a root feeding weevil, was introduced in 1969. The larvae feed on the root crown thus reducing or even preventing flower production. This weevil, in addition to planting competitive vegetation, has reduced populations of Mediterranean sage in Oregon and I daho. Fire: Unknown Cultural control: Tillage is an effective tool in fields and pastures.

They release a pungent sage-like smell when crushed. Flowering Time: Mediterranean Sage flowers bloom between June and July. Seeds are produced in late summer and fall. Life cycle: Mediterranean Sage is a biennial that produces a rosette on its first year before flowering and producing seeds during its second. Impacts: ➢ Mediterranean Sage rapidly takes over any habitat it is introduced to, forming dense monocultures that crowd out native plants and decrease biodiversity. ➢ While not particularly toxic, Mediterranean Sage is unpalatable to most grazing animals. ➢ Mediterranean Sage goes dormant during periods of drought, allowing young plants to survive until moisture is adequate for growth. Control: L.L. Berry, Bugwood.org ➢ Mechanical control methods (pulling, cultivation, etc.) are effective on small infestations, before seed is set. Ensure complete removal of the root system, or at the very least, cut off the taproot 2-3 inches below the soil. ➢ Biological control in the form of the root-crown weevil Phrydiuchus tau has proven somewhat effective in suppressing this plant’s further spread.

  • Clary Sage (Salvia Sclarea L., Lamiaceae)
    Extracellular Localization of the Diterpene Sclareol in Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea L., Lamiaceae) Jean-Claude Caissard1*, Thomas Olivier2, Claire Delbecque3, Sabine Palle4, Pierre-Philippe Garry3, Arthur Audran3, Nadine Valot1, Sandrine Moja1, Florence Nicole´ 1, Jean-Louis Magnard1, Sylvain Legrand1,5, Sylvie Baudino1, Fre´de´ric Jullien1 1 Laboratoire de Biotechnologies Ve´ge´tales Applique´es aux Plantes Aromatiques et Me´dicinales, Universite´ Jean Monnet, Universite´ de Lyon, Saint-Etienne, France, 2 Laboratoire Hubert Curien, Universite´ Jean Monnet, Universite´ de Lyon, Saint-Etienne, France, 3 Bontoux S.A., Saint-Auban-sur-Ouve`ze, France, 4 Centre de Microscopie Confocale Multiphotonique, Universite´ Jean Monnet, Universite´ de Lyon, Saint-Etienne, France, 5 Laboratoire Stress Abiotiques et Diffe´renciation des Ve´ge´taux Cultive´s, Universite´ Lille Nord de France, Universite´ Lille 1, Villeneuve d’Ascq, France Abstract Sclareol is a high-value natural product obtained by solid/liquid extraction of clary sage (Salvia sclarea L.) inflorescences. Because processes of excretion and accumulation of this labdane diterpene are unknown, the aim of this work was to gain knowledge on its sites of accumulation in planta. Samples were collected in natura or during different steps of the industrial process of extraction (steam distillation and solid/liquid extraction). Samples were then analysed with a combination of complementary analytical techniques (gas chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometer, polarized light microscopy, environmental scanning electron microscopy, two-photon fluorescence microscopy, second harmonic generation microscopy). According to the literature, it is hypothesized that sclareol is localized in oil pockets of secretory trichomes. This study demonstrates that this is not the case and that sclareol accumulates in a crystalline epicuticular form, mostly on calyces.

Colombia. [email protected] GERARDO PÉREZ Chemistry Department, Biochemistry Laboratory, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogotá. Colombia. [email protected] ABSTRACT This is the third study of lectin and mucilage detection in Labiatae nutlets from Colombia. It was carried out on 30 taxa; 15 of them belonging to 14 genera in which no previous studies have been carried out in this fi eld, the other 15 belonging to previously studied genera. A differential response was observed in the group of genera and species studied in terms of mucilage presence as well as lectin activity which consistently increased after extract treatment with Pectinex. Lectin activity was detected in 26 species, being important (more than 60% activity) in at least 75% of them. Genera such as Aegiphila, Agastache, Ballota, Mentha and Origanum, whilst not presenting mucilage, did present lectin activity, with high activity in most cases. This is the fi rst time that a lectin has been reported in these genera. Salvia (in all but Salvia sections studied) presented mucilage and important lectin activity.

  • Mediterranean Sage
    Washington State University WHITMAN COUNTY EXTENSION OCTOBER 2009 STEVE'S Mediterranean sage Also Known as: African sage, Ethiopian sage Mediterranean sage is a Class A Noxious Weed. Class A Noxious Weeds: Non-native species that are limited in distribution in Washington. State law requires that these weeds be eradicated. Mediterranean sage (Salvia aethiopis L.), is native to Europe and is said to have been introduced into the United States as a garden ornamental or in contaminated alfalfa seed. A biennial, Mediterranean sage is a member of the mint family. It reproduces solely by seed. First year rosettes have ground-hugging basal leaves that are bluish-green, woolly and slightly notched. A stout taproot forms, providing an energy reserve for the next season’s growth. In the second year, a sturdy squarish stem bolts, reaching up to 3’ in height. Basal leaves are irregular with indented margins, while upper leaves are opposite, smaller, and clasp the stem. Fine, silvery white woolly hairs cover the stems, leaves and leaf undersides. As plants mature, they shed most of these hairs and the leaves become wrinkled, showing prominent venation. The leaves of Mediterranean sage release a pungent, sage-like odor when crushed, hence the plant’s common name. Multi- branched flowering stems develop from May to August. The flowers are small, white to yellowish-white and are borne in clusters at branch ends. Individual flowers are about ½ to 1 inch long, have five petals, and develop four smooth nutlets with dark brown veins. A mature plant can produce up to 100,000 seeds, which are widely scattered after the plant breaks off in the fall and becomes a tumbleweed.

    Claudio Cervelli Carmen Del Gaudio Luca Masselli Il genere Salvia: SCHEDE DESCRITTIVE di 117 specie, varietà e ibridi Documentazione della collezione del CRA-FSO di Sanremo EdizioniCRAͲFSO Copyright © Consiglio per la Ricerca e la Sperimentazione in Agricoltura (CRA) Roma 2011 ISBN 978-88-97081-10-4 Edizioni CRA-FSO Unità di Ricerca per la Floricoltura e le Specie Ornamentali Corso Inglesi 508 – 18038 Sanremo Tel.: 0184 69481 Fax: 0184 694856 e-mail: [email protected] Web: www.istflori.it Pubblicato il 20 settembre 2011 Il genere Salvia Nell’ambito delle Lamiaceae il genere Salvia viene incluso nella sottofamiglia Nepetoideae (Dumort.) Luerss. (1882), tribù delle Mentheae Dumort (1827), sottotribù delle Salviinae (Dumort.) Endl. (1838). Sono state classificate sinora più di 900 specie di Salvia (ciò ne fa il più numeroso nell’ambito della Lamiaceae), a cui si aggiungono decine di ibridi (di origine naturale o non) e centinaia di cultivars. Le caratteristiche distintive del genere Salvia rispetto agli altri generi delle Lamiaceae risiedono nell’androceo, la parte maschile degli organi sessuali, dove si ha la riduzione a 2 del numero degli stami (rispetto ai 4 tipici della famiglia), la trasformazione dei due stami fertili in strutture a bilancere e la riduzione a 1 sola teca fertile per stame; tali modifiche sono adattamenti evolutivi all’impollinazione incrociata, causata in genere da insetti, ma in America anche da piccoli uccelli. Il genere Salvia è presente allo stato spontaneo in tutti i continenti eccetto l’Australia (in cui si trovano alcune specie naturalizzate), con diffusione nelle regioni temperate e tropicali dei due emisferi ed escursione altitudinale dal livello del mare a oltre 3400 m.

    E5.0 BOTANICAL AND WILDLIFE RESOURCES This section on the terrestrial resources (plants and wildlife) associated with the Klamath Hydroelectric Project (Project) contains the following elements: • A description of the existing botanical and wildlife resources in the study area (see Figure E5.1-1) • A discussion of agency consultation related to terrestrial resources • Summaries of the studies conducted by PacifiCorp on wildlife and vegetation • A summary of proposed enhancement measures • A discussion of continuing impacts E5.1 HISTORICAL TERRESTRIAL RESOURCES The terrestrial resources in the Project vicinity historically have been affected by humans for a long period of time. Much of the information on Native American use of the Klamath River Canyon comes from the archaeological investigations conducted by Gleason (2001). Native Americans have been part of the Klamath River ecosystem for at least the last 7,500 years (Gleason, 2001). The Upland Takelma, Shasta, Klamath, and Modoc tribes all used various portions of the study area; the Yurok Tribe historically used the lands along the Lower Klamath River. Before settlement by Europeans, Native Americans affected terrestrial resources through clearing vegetation for villages; harvesting plants and animals for food, medicine, and other uses; and using fire to manage vegetation. The most intensive uses occurred close to the river. Apparently, many of the flat terraces in the canyon were used at one time or another as village- sized settlements. The existing Topsy Grade Road is near the site of a Native American trail. Beginning in about 1870, homesteaders established ranches in the Klamath River Canyon. Apparently, the canyon was mostly unoccupied by any Native American tribes after this time.
